receive and file a
presentation from the
Department of Public
Works regarding the City's
Bike Master Plan and
provide an update on
progress made to date.
Bike Long Beach [email protected] Hello,
Thank you for placing this item on the
agenda. I feel it should be addressed
quarterly with presentation materials
posted in advance.
While Long Beach's efforts to improve
biking infrastructure is appreciated,
they are of proceeding far too slowly.
Other US cities of comparable size are
getting things done quicker and saving
lives and improving mobility.
Please provide an update to the list of
projects and their delivery schedule that
the city presented in Feb 2022,
including reasons for delay and what
can be done to recover schedule.

Please also prioritize the bike lane on
Wardlow crossing the LA River, and the
Alamitos gap between Ocean and 6th.
If there is no immediate plan to update

Kurt Canfield [email protected] North/south connectivity remains an issue. I understand Studebaker and
Pacific will help alleviate this but
navigating our city by bicycle remains a
challenging and dangerous puzzle in
some areas. We hope for more
equitable distribution of bicycle
infrastructure throughout the city
(especially the west side), a focus on
protected and buffered lanes, use of
quick build practices and materials over
waiting for permanent installations, and
a requirement that construction efforts
must preserve sidewalk and bike lanes.

Kerry Beth Larick [email protected] I would've loved to see the presentation prior to the update. I fully support the
2016 Bicycle Master Plan and am
excited to see the update for 2023. I
specifically want to understand the
progress made on a complete bicycle
network and it's future plans. I also
want to see what has been done to
address community concerns and input
about safety at certain intersections and
feeling safe in terms of riding bicycle
routes in Long Beach. I would also like
to see a standard that unites the Bicycle
Master Plan, Safe Streets Long Beach
Vision Zero Plan and the policies in our
mobility element.

Recommendation to
receive and file a
presentation from CalTrans
regarding an overview of
Pacific Coast Highway (SR-
1) Projects in Long Beach
and provide a schedule of
the projects timeline.
Kurt Canfield [email protected] Dedicated bus lanes on PCH would induce more ridership, help bridge East
and West LB together, create a fast
connection between our university and
the A-line, and provide a solution for all
of the new traffic coming to the 2nd
and PCH intersection.

Kerry Beth Larick [email protected] I would have loved to review this document before the meeting. PCH is
designated as an official bike route but
many major sections are very unsafe for
cyclists. I would love to see a designated
Bus Rapid Transit lane and more
protected cyclist infrastructure.
